    FXR150 how quick?

    Can you keep up on the (freeflowing) motorway on one of these?
    Insert witticism.

    Easily. As long as its not blowing a gale against you. I had one of these for a while and it cruises at 110-120km/h quite happily.

    They're all sweet for the main road. My old Fixxer did many trips. Just avoid overtaking.

    Yep the little FXR's have enough grunt to handle the motorway... as mentioned about it reaches 120kph without too much effort.

    Too be honest, I can run faster than a FXR150... Well almost!

    Na, they are great bikes for comuting and having a bit of fun and are more than capable of keeping up with the traffic.

    i fell in love with them for a while now hate the things, they are just to damn small (literally) you'd have to be a midget to ride one! i'm looking at a honda vt250fg that has had a brand new engine put it in, and is basically a brand new bike, for $2000 what do you think, should i get it?

    My ex-flatmate got my old FXR (Now my partners FXR) up to 130kph with me on the back... doesn't feel right going that fast on a FXR...

    Of course you all know that the speedo's are hard wired to read 7km/h faster than what you're actually doing

    True story.

    I've seen these things on the motorway, so I guess they can keep up. Not sure if they can overtake though

    Well that explains a LOT. When my partner and I first started riding together I'd always have to pull over and wait for her, and she was 100% sure she was going but still couldn't keep up with me...
